Obama's War.............................
"It's very hard for local people to accept any foreigners who come to our country and say they are fighting for our freedom. To give the idea that they are not invaders, that they are not occupiers, is very difficult." - Gen. Azizudin Wardak, Paktia province police chief on the US escalation of the war in Afghanistan.
Editor's note : Sadly, Vietnam 2, is under way. [:-[

Bill Gates...............

NYTimes, Paul Krugman...................
"If you're looking for a job right now, your prospects are terrible.

But now that total financial collapse has been averted, all the urgency seems to have vanished from policy discussion, replaced by a strange passivity.......This is wrong and unacceptable."
Editor's note : Hello?
